Venus

[Sirius]

O Venus, burning star of night,
Mirror-maker of desire’s flight,
I call not love in human frame,
But chrome, and fire, and roaring flame.
Let this token shift and grow,
Tulpa born in fervent glow.
Not just a car, but siren-red,
A love affair that ends in dread.

She came in smoke and metal breath,
A streak of lust, a dance with death.
Her voice a growl, her eyes twin lights,
She kissed the road in velvet nights.
We rode through time, two souls unchained,
Her heart was fire, but never tamed.
She drank the moon, ignored the sun
A race begun, but never won.

This morning I arose before sunrise and watched Venus for a little while, shining bright and large. I momentarily tried to remember (from memory) what the planet actually looks like, but could not. Then the sun came up.

I love Venus for curses. Who doesn't need another lover. There is no bad karma.

Do you perform curses?

Do you perform curses?

Actually good question. No, no no. That is a whole lot of weird stuff. Skinwalkers and other things we all agree not to talk about.

Is Venus like Panama or Highway Star?

A good car is easy to love. An 8 speed transmission and 300 Horsepower is even easier.

I'm all for the classics, loud internal combustion and max displacement, but these smaller displacement German and Japanese engines are something else.

Their engines kick our engines asses.

I use to give my friend crap for her Subaru Forester. Asked her when she was going to cover it in national park stickers.

And then you drive her vehicle with a turbocharged WRX engine in it and you can instantly see why she loves her crossover so.

Really highly rated for safety too.

By the way, what's with the numbers?



Is this code? I tried using a Polybius cipher with "ERIS" as the key (just a guess), but only got the Spanish word for passion as plaintext.

This remains a mystery.

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

It's a fake prison number. With special fascist star designation. I'll switch a letter for a number so it looks more prisony.

So I had a look at the planet Venus via the Russian probes they sent decades ago, and it's a hellish planet to say the least. 900 degrees F, 9x the gravity of Earth (equivalent to being under the sea at 3,000 feet). Their probes didn't last much over an hour.
